The Best of Intentions

February 12, 2007

A word from the wind at the window pane the winter’s come to stay awhile the heart longs for heaven the heart looks for sun but this song is sung alone

That’s all right there’s a sad kind of sweetness in a song or a sweet kind of sadness that carries you along from the best of intentions that gently go wrong to saying sorry as though they owed you something

I was born on a hill by a stream, in a town in a country, on an earth whose sun follows us around as we spin in our glory making glorious sounds that are echoes of the very first word

And the word on the wind that awoke me tonight came to whisper the way to the day that I will die but I couldn’t quite hear it as hard as I’d try – maybe trying, I didn’t listen so well

Oh well, here’s an echo: that’s as good as it gets and a heart that’s as warm as the sun as it sets: it’s a pretty fine color and the sky that comes next is a wonder you really can’t miss.

… here’s a home-brew demo track (all disclaimers apply). I’ll get to a studio one of these days… Meanwhile, “that’s all right”.
